The movie is built around the very complex relationships between Yoshida, leaving Shimizu for Aihara (or at least he tries to), and his friend Ito, whose love for Yoshida seems to have little chance for success. In the end we have a coalition of Ito and Aihara - who may or may not be in love with Ito - teaching Yoshida a lesson.
How this film has passed me by through the years is beyond me. Maybe it fell under the radar when it didn't became a box office hit, making it so that most people didn't hear about it. Which is incredibly unfortunate because it's an amazing little film that faces the controversy of homosexuality in the Japanese society head-on. It get's very intimate and some scenes almost makes you feel like a peeping Tom for watching something private.
It also has a killer soundtrack, beautiful and atmospheric. When the ending theme "SAYONARA" kicks in, you'll almost close your own eyes together with Yoshida.
